People get offended because they want to get offended. They then rationalize it after the fact, usually by resorting to “certain words are always wrong”. But if a friend occasionally does something annoying, you could either elect to ignore it, or you could take a stand and make it a make-or-break issue. But the choice to make it an issue is yours.
This should be entertaining.

Before it was an investment vehicle or speculation tool, before it was even a technology, cryptocurrency was a political statement. Bitcoin, fundamentally, is predicated on a belief about the relationship between government, money, and freedom. It's not a belief I happen to share, which is why I have never and will never invest in it, regardless of price or utility.

I thought I would never invest in any cryptocurrency. But, as it turns out, there actually is one cryptocurrency which does reflect my beliefs: Dogecoin, whose overriding philosophy is "I don't know the details of how any of this works and it all seems rather silly." Last time I checked my holdings were about twelve cents, which as a purely-symbolic position seems more or less reasonable.

I am entirely unsurprised that Dogecoin would be associated with WSB. There is no market or financial relationship between the two. But they are both, in their own way, an example of shitposting that became serious enough to matter. A joke taken too far, until it stopped being just a joke (but never stopped being a joke).

These people were too naive to speculate in the stock market, and had they not bought stocks, they would likely waste those savings in another naive investment.
If you purchased the option package, it included an additional AoA vane (sensor).

The AoA sensors on the standard model were meant to be redundant, not work together. Boeings fixes are making the sensors work together, while sacrificing what they originally designed as redundancy.

> This is all "speculation". You're not basing the stock price on earnings but intangibles.

Yes, it's absolutely (informed) speculation.

This is how the stock market works. Amazon, Apple, Microsoft before them, Google... people said exactly what you are saying about how they were valued at some point in time.

Every single stock is valued based on how stocks will perform in the future. Last year's performance is only interesting for informing investors of what the next 10 years will bring.

I do think Tesla is a risky stock to own (I do own some shares), but it always has been. Likewise Apple was. And Amazon. If you want big returns you often hang on to the riskier stocks for longer than you are comfortable. (Not always and you cash out)
And yet their entire business model is that they offer it for free because they sell access to your orders to market makers so that they front run your transaction.
TSLA market cap is huge but it's a stretch to say that Tesla Motors is eating Toyota's lunch.

The point isn't the press release, it's that Toyota has spent decades doing what you say they don't do.
You could still agree with everything in the article and tweet this tweet. The article states the strongest predictor of entrepreneurship is parent's wealth. There are many other predictors.
This narrative doesn't make any sense. Hedge funds aren't a monolithic entity. Some hedge funds lost billions of dollars on shorts. Redditors made millions of dollars. Where do you think the rest of the money went to? That's right, other, more powerful, hedge funds. BlackRock held 9.2 million shares as of a few weeks ago.
That would only make sense if they refused you at the door, or after you had sold all investments. Obviously the fact that these people hold shares complicates it.

I could replace ht with another HTTP client. I just picked it because it was the easiest way I knew to compile an HTTP client with statically linking openssl.

If anyone knows an easy way to compile curl with statically linked openssl, let me know!

It would also not be difficult to build a small custom client based on Hyper or Reqwest.

If you had read the article, you would have seen that it's exactly what they say : “A strong economic base may benefit those interested in setting up a start-up, providing an economic safety net in the event of failure,”
Nobody cares about these two hedge funds in particular, but they are concerned in general about retail investors having some way to band together to move a (very small) market. If it can happen to one fund it can happen to any random fund on Wall Street and that kind of risk and uncertainty can’t be allowed.

Same mentality when companies that try to fight unions forming, even those forming at their competitors. A few Amazon employees want to form a union? The entire retail industry will suddenly show their support for Amazon. Can’t set the president of allowing the little guy anywhere to get used to being able to band together and take collective action.

'Pro-LGBT' wasn't meant as corporate-speak, I genuinely just meant it as indicating a positive or even neutral sentiment towards those under the LGBT umbrella. I do agree that "Are you pro-LGBT?" as a question is not useful, as it almost feels like "Please signal your political affiliation" at this point.

I will say that the obsession with traps does for some reason feel to me as unrelated to views on homosexuality, which is weird, and possibly a misunderstanding of mine.
Your* entire argument actually supports what I said.

Twitters goal was never to weaponize freedom of speech. You can't blame twitter for being anti-free speech when the basis for kicking off Trump was violation of TOS. It was never a freedom of speech issue to begin with.

Parler on the other hand weaponizes freedom of speech does so in a very juvenile way to confuse people. The GOP runs with this too.

It's how conspiracy theorists thrive - they weaponize authority in every way - be it authority because of comprehensive study, understanding and scientific evidence or authority because of governance, speech, status quo.

It's pathetic really... and i have to laugh that you seem to suggest you have some pillar to stand on merely because you corrected what my iphone chose to autocorrect.

"build protocols, not platforms"

When something (in this case technology) becomes a problem, I'm not usually in favor of trying to add more of that same thing to solve the problem. Similarly, if a platform is going to control speech, I don't see the point of adding more control to control Facebook's control. I think this is a structural rabbit hole that constantly repeats itself in our institutions.

And even if "we" did apply more technology, who exactly is going to lead this effort? If we drop solutions with n more protocols in the market, the same 3 companies will end up owning the content on them. And through some remarkable defiance of probability, all of those companies will act in identical lockstep when it comes to behavior and policies. Of course, there's no evidence of collusion, they just happen to be culturally identical in every way. And that is reasonably believable given how few actual people are involved in running the organizations.

"Some feel that these platforms have become cesspools of trolling, bigotry, and hatred."

Some? I'm assuming (possibly wrongly) that this sentence is intended to express one particular side's feeling about the other particular side. But I think everyone feels this. Both sides make arguments (some more data driven than others) that show how the other side is motivated by hate. In fact, the prevalence of the conviction that love, compassion, and morality exist exclusively on one side appears to be a large part of the problem.

There are over 3000 counties in the US and if you colored them by their political and cultural sentiment and look at the map of the country, you would see the full diversity and distribution of ideas - at least geographically. The lack of this level of resolution on Internet platforms is the problem imo.

Maybe there can't be 3000 platforms. But there can be more than 3-5 groupings of capital that control them all and they can be more culturally diverse. Not sure about the value of being more protocol diverse.
I think the point is, how can we make it so the companies that build profitable products using open source code can support the developers who build those open source libraries?

There are a lot of projects (sudo being the most recent example) supported by a team of developers in the single digits (or just one) that are relied upon by projects raking in millions if not billions in annual revenue.

Finding ways to give back and keep the developers motivated is important in the long term, unless you plan on rewriting all the software you depend on.

Currently the two sustainable answers for that are:

1. Hope some company is generous in hiring said OSS developer and paying them a salary to continue working on that OSS work (ideally without too much pressure to modify it for that one company's use case).

2. Make that developer spend a lot of time doing marketing to generate donations/sponsorships to a level where the developer can pay for things like food, shelter, and insurance.

you can pick and choose what portion...

That was the old way. The new way is you give them your credit card or WeChat 'bill me' code. You get billed whatever the merchant wants to bill. Any post-facto complaint will be at the cost of your own time.

Your further analogy is factually inaccurate. Under Windows, AFAIK most programs have a partially restricted permission set, hence Run as administrator. In Linux, under modern distributions, most programs run in both a user and a cgroup context, and some under further restrictions such as chroot and caps.
I live in a rent-restricted area. There is quite a bit of construction, and the average person moves almost once every two years.

The effects of rent-restriction you quote are theoretical effects. In the real world, it does work, as long as the rent-restrictions are well-thought-out.
Tangentially, this is obviously targeting business or team communication and it's a great collection of practical advice.

It made me wonder what the corollary rule set would be when writing fiction. The advice: "Always start by thinking about what you want an audience to understand, know, or do after they’ve seen a piece of communication," could be expanded to include 'feel' or 'envision' or 'wonder'. In some ways, it would call for de-tuning the precision and intentionally introducing vagueness, demotic or evocative language.

GameStop Overlooks Rally in First Public Comments Since Shares Went Parabolic

Primarily a profit driven motive. Open source doesn't always mean free as in beer.

>elastic killed elasticsearch

For companies like amazon who are fundamentally incompatibl with truly open source yes, this is a killing blow. For everyone else its just a change in ToS.

In 2021 what's changing is many companies and devs are getting rightly upset about multinationals ripping off their code without so much as an attribution. These companies are saying that not only is your code not worth money, it isn't even worth the exposure on your resume.
I didn’t downvote, but isn’t there precedent to halt trading when markets get too volatile? I remember a few years back when JNJ trading was stopped due to HFT “anomalies”. Back then, people had trades revoked when they got a great deal on a reputable company.

Whether nefarious or not, it is chalked up to preserving faith in the market by giving breathers when things get too wonky
I wish they’d use their platform for something more constructive. Buy a majority share in a key link of the oil supply chain, then vote to cease operations. (Or similarly, do the same with coal plants, install co2 scrubbers, and scuttle all ongoing development projects).
Yet Another Why Writing Software Is Hard Article
The problem is that people were starting to get in for pure speculation. Two friends of mine who don't care at all about Wall Street told me yesterday that they bought in, because they read an explanation of why they're sure to see big gains on Friday. If the goal was just to beat Wall Street, hurt some hedge funds and get egg on a lot of people's faces... like you said, they've already succeeded, so putting a stop to it before speculative investors get hurt seems appropriate.

The premise is wrong. The consolidation of computing to a few mega platforms or companies is the big issue open source is where you are seeing the symptoms.

Elastic is just another app/database platform. Open source is a side issue with Amazon... the real problem is that ultimately, their ability to exist as a platform is ultimately in the hands of a few companies.
Your take is so wrong. There is friction in opening accounts, funding it, etc. If all your investment money is in RH, it takes a week to move money out.

And the simple fact that millions of people on RH are locked out of buying totally fucks the people holding the stock. "You can sell but not buy"?

Who is buying? The institutions.

Do not attempt to justify this.
> Isn't this now the standard reality for most desktop and mobile OSs?

Not really, no. Because there isn't a comprehensive intent layer in the UI that is fully trusted and in which the user can grant capabilities.

Just a couple examples; if you download a PDF file with a mobile browser and want to open it in an app, the only option is to grant eternal (unless you manually revoke it) access to the local file system to the entire viewer app. A capability-aware UI would, at the "what do you want to do with this file?" system dialog grant a one time capability to read the particular file to the app the user picks. The capability persists as long as the app retains it. The app can't fork off a sub-process or send it to another app and clone the capability to the file; it would have to ask the user to do that. The mechanism for that trusted user request and response is where all UIs (and most CLIs) fail.

Designing a safe and useful capability desktop/mobile environment is hard. Modern UIs and CLIs are just papering over the details of actual objects in the privilege system. Icons and filenames are only a human-readable representation of objects accessible with capabilities and so there's a disconnect between UI representation, user intent, and user interactions. Solving that means replacing arbitrary custom UIs with trusted, object-aware system UIs that reveal the actual state of capabilities and objects instead of a simplified representation.

> Granting a permission based upon user approval is never secure anyway since if they want to see the porn / flashing lights they are going to click the button regardless.

The UI model would have to be significantly different with a lot of trusted components. Basically any UI element that can grant a capability to another app/process has to be part of the trusted system. That means a user-level app can't even ask for permissions to objects because it can't see them, know they exist, or refer to them in a way the system UI could grant a capability. Interaction between applications would be more like a smart clipboard; a user would open their camera app, take a picture, and grant a read capability to an app that's waiting for it.

There's a lot of 'convenience' lost in a pure capability system because there's no default trust in the good intentions of app developers.

There is a potential further development that allows convenience; formal proofs for application software that adheres to a particular data management policy. Say instagram wants to formally verify that photos taken automatically by the app (selfie button or whatever) can never be uploaded without user permission. Prove that the component for taking photos within the app drops all capabilities to the network and the main app itself before taking any photos; all it can do is fill up a particular folder/directory with new photos that are visible to the user, who can then trigger an upload (grant capability to a particular photo to the main app from a secure view of the directory) with another trusted interface. That trusted component could be granted a capability to the camera itself once the proof is verified.

Historically, it was the Perl web site for a long time. It was registered by Tom Christiansen in 1994 and soon afterwards, he let O'Reilly run it - and they used it to post useful Perl news and articles for a long time.

But O'Reilly's interest in Perl waned and it sat, moribund, for several years (which probably explains its lack of Googlejuice).

A few years ago, the Perl community approached Tom and he let them take over running it. The team behind the PerlTricks web site ported over all the old articles and had been posting new ones. It had become a pretty useful resource again.

So, yes, it would be a shame to lose it. But from what brian has posted elsewhere on this thread, that seems unlikely to happen.

> There are a LOT of people who can figure out panel gaps.

I work in the industry. There are less people to do this than you think. Talk to anyone at GM and there is a good chance they at some point in their career worked for Ford or Chrysler or Toyota or Diamler or Tada or Fiat etc. There is a lot of employee and information exchange that goes one. Tesla is very small and outside of MI/IL/OH and miss a bit of this. Plus I suspect that Tesla wants their own way of doing things and “the guy that handled fog lights” from Ford Trucks for 15 years only knows TeamCenter and CATIA and that might not fit well at Tesla (I have no idea really, just assuming Tesla doesn’t use the same systems as legacy mfgs).

I think the biggest issue most people overlook is that “it’s hard to build cars”. That there is a ridiculous amount of “boring” engineering in boring cars to make sure they wont be service costs until the warranty is up. Tesla came in building an electrical system that had seats and a steering wheel, so they are just getting around to doing those little mundane things like fundamentals of modern vehicle body assembly.
